Ports are not yet ready for switching PTHREAD_LIBS to something
other than -lc_r.  But don't let this stop you from trying
to figure out which ports are getting confused and fixing
them :-)  For 5.3 we'll need to solve this since libkse^H^H^Hpthread
will be the default.

FYI, the problem is that some ports have configure/libtools
that autodetect -lc_r and/or -pthread.  So you may set
PTHREAD_LIBS to -lthr (or -lkse), but you'll end up linking
to both -lthr and -lc_r.  Use ldd on the libraries/binaries
and you'll see what I mean.
